BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO PROGRAM YOUR VEHICLE, YOU MUST FIRST PLUG THE DEVICE INTO A WINDOWS-BASED PC OR LAPTOP AND UPDATE THE DEVICE. Please read the user manual completely and go to the Device Info menu to confirm your Firmware version and Tune Revision version. Visit www.sctflash.com to check for updates or newer versions of the Firmware or Tune revision. It is critical that the update process is done prior to programming the vehicle. Plug the device into the OBD-II port and wait for the main menu screen to appear. The default menu screen is "Program Vehicle". If you are calling for technical support for a vehicle that is not supported, you will need to Read Strategy first through the "Vehicle Info" main menu screen. The Keypad will allow you to scroll through the different main menu screens and the Select/Cancel keys will select/save different sub-menus. Refer to the next page for more information on device navigation. NOTE: SCT does not recommend using this device with any other tuning module or device that modifies the vehicle PCM parameters, increases horsepower, torque, or modifies transmission characteristics. Before taking your vehicle to a dealer service department for any type of service or warranty work, you should first return the vehicle back to the stock configuration.

CABLES & CONNECTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

OBD-II Connection & Cable The OBD-II cable is designed to interface between the SCT SF3 Power Flash and the vehicle PCM. The cable uses a proprietary connection for the vehicle’s OBD-II port, which can be found under the dash on the driver’s side of the vehicle (see diagram below). The port may be labeled as a diagnostic port with a cap covering the pin connector, which you will need to remove. You will use this cable/port to program the vehicle, datalog from the vehicle PCM and view parameters in real-time.

OBD Port USB Connection & Cable The USB cable is designed to interface between the SCT SF3 Power Flash and a Windows™-based laptop or PC. You will use this cable to update the SCT SF3 Power Flash with new firmware or software/pre-programmed files, and/or download datalog files stored in the device memory.

USER ADJUSTMENT OPTION NOTES Some options, such as Shift Point 1-2, Shift Point 2-3, Shift Point 3-4, Shift Firmness 1-2, Shift Firmness 2-3, Shift Firmness 3-4 will show up as a choice for vehicles that have a manual transmission. In these cases simply move to the next item without making adjustments to them As noted, the only supercharger tunes available are for vehicles originally equipped with a blower from Ford, such as ‘03-04 Cobra, ‘99 and up Lightning and Harley trucks. If you later add a supercharger, turbo or nitrous to your vehicle or add a more ‘wild’ naturally aspirated combination of parts, you will need to obtain a custom tuned device from an SCT dealer. Additionally, the SF3 Power Flash should NOT be used on vehicles that you have installed power adders on because the tuning options, while very flexible, are not comprehensive enough to support such changes. You risk serious engine damage if you add such upgrades to your vehicle and attempt to tune for the combination with the SF3 Power Flash. A custom tuned device from an SCT dealer is necessary in all such cases.

Other Information:

USER ADJUSTABLE OPTIONS Adjusting User Adjustable Options User Adjustable Options are contained within the pre-loaded tuning files. You will be prompted to Adjust User Parameters—Yes / No. To adjust user options, select Yes. The Adjust User Options menu will appear and you will navigate through the options using the arrow up, down, left & right keys. To enter the option or select the option, use the select key. To cancel the option or go back to the previous screen, press the cancel key. The user adjustable options allow you to adjust common vehicle parameters such as; Fuel Octane, Rev Limiters, Speed Limiters, Axle Ratio and Tire Size Calibrations, Engine Spark, Engine Timing, Fuel Table and more. The available user adjustable options for your vehicle will appear in the on-screen list. Use the arrow up & down keys to scroll through the options list and use the select key to enter and modify any option.

In the event the SF3 Power Flash does not successfully flash the vehicle it will display an error message. If this happens, you must recover the ECU. Turn the key off and program the vehicle with the RETURN TO STOCK option. You may then try again.

Once you have selected each option to change, you will be prompted to save all adjustments. Once the adjustments have been saved to file, you will be prompted to continue the upload process.

Caution:

Many common user adjustable options are listed near the back of this user manual. If you have any questions regarding the number of available options by vehicle or how to adjust any of the options, please consult our tech department or web site for further technical assistance.

On 1994-1997 vehicles that are flashed, it is necessary to remove the battery cable after re-flashing to clear the PCM’s adaptive memory.

Important Points to Remember • • • • • • • • • •

Remove the fuel pump fuse and fan fuse before flashing. Be sure heater fans, windshield wipers or any other current draw is minimized during flashing. Do NOT interrupt the flashing process once it has begun, by disconnecting the cable of battery or pulling the diagnostic cable. The SF3 Power Flash will not operate if there is a chip or other aftermarket device in the J3 port. Remove all chips. Never attempt to reflash ‘on the fly’ or with the engine running as this will damage the SF3 Power Flash and processor. Running with lower octane fuel then was intended for the tune in use can result in engine damage. The SF3 Power Flash becomes ‘VIN’ locked to the vehicle once it is used. On 1994-1997 vehicles that are flashed, it is necessary to remove the battery cable after re-flashing to clear the PCM’s adaptive memory. Never operate the motor vehicle and attempt to datalog. Have someone else drive the car if you need to do this. Obey all traffic laws.
